    Abstract: Methods and devices utilizing downlink channel measurements for customization of downlink positioning reference signals (DL PRs) are provided. A serving base station (BS) for a targeted device and one or more non-serving BSs transmit respective downlink reference signals (DL RSs) to the targeted device. The targeted device reports respective downlink channel measurement information for each BS based on the received DL RSs. The BSs each transmit a respective DL PRS to the targeted device for downlink positioning measurement, wherein the respective DL PRS for each BS is configured based in part on the respective downlink channel measurement information reported by the targeted device for that BS. This allows the DL PRS for each BS to be configured taking into account downlink channel conditions between the BS and the targeted device, which can potentially improve positioning measurement accuracy by improving reception of the DL PRS at the targeted device.

    Abstract: Methods and apparatus are provided that may simplify and enhance the location of nodes in a network, including ED and mobile TPs, even if all or many of the nodes are mobile. The methods may be used to enable single TP positioning, and may be used to reduce synchronization error. The provided methods make use of smart reflectors having known location. By processing a combination of signals, which may include an original transmitted signal, and/or one or more reflected signals, the location of a receiving node can be determined. Media tagging may be employed to allow a receiver to detect the identity of the nearby reflectors (with known locations) and based on the identity determine the locations of the reflectors. Using this information, the receiving node can detect its location regardless of knowing the transmission source and/or location.

    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for transmit signalling to configure a UE with a UE specific root to use in generating a Zhadoff Chu (ZC) sequence for reference signal transmission. With conventional LTE, a cell specific root is used within each cell. There is a need for a more flexible association between roots and UEs that, for example, allows for multiple roots to be associated with a cell. The provided approach may help with maintaining re-use distance as networks become denser. The method provided in this embodiment improves the capabilities of automatic driving and ADAS of electric vehicles. The method can be applied to vehicle networking, such as V2X, LTE-V, V2X, etc.

    Abstract: Aspects of the present application provide methods and devices in a communication network that aid in implementing sounding reference signal (SRS) measurement by multiple cells (i.e. serving cells and non-serving cells, also known as “neighbor cells”) as well as NR LMUs. This enhanced SRS measurement based on multiple cell and/or NR LMU measurements may facilitate more beneficial usages such as UL-based positioning and UL-based mobility.

    Abstract: A paging method and system in a wireless network for a target device that is enabled to transition between an active state and a standby state, including: tracking a location of a target device within the network while the target device is in the standby state based on a periodic identifying signal from the target device; determining a serving transmission point for the target device based on the tracking; and instructing the serving transmission point to transmit a paging message to the target device.

    Abstract: A master user equipment (UE) device may coordinate device-to-device (D2D) communications amongst a plurality of UE devices. For example, a UE device, which has been designated as a master UE device, may coordinate a D2D communication between a first UE device and a second UE device. The master UE device may be a UE device that obtains an indication that it is a master UE device that is to coordinate D2D communications amongst the plurality of UE devices. In some embodiments, the coordinating the D2D communication may be on behalf of a network and/or to facilitate wireless communication between the network and at least one of the plurality of UE devices.
